Grouper is the fish of choice down here on the Gulf coast, although I much prefer the Florida (spiny) lobster and gator bites. YUM!
Upvote for leaving the wooden mats unfinished. Over time they will gain a lovely petina as Sven-Olof mentioned, and can be freshened like new with a card scraper if you are so inclined. Adding a finish will only serve to overcomplicate something that is already natural and resilient for this purpose.
